This sounds good! My hubby is not a huge chicken eater, but I showed him this picture and he even said it looked good! I have most of the ingredients on hand, so I believe I'll be trying this one maybe tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Rita,I made your recipe for crockpot pot roast and it was so good!!! Hubby loved it! I know I said I was having the Chicken Chile for tonight, but we're having it for tomorrow night's dinner instead. It's already made though. All Hubby has to do is make the white rice and heat up the chile...and voila...dinner is served. TFS

I made your recipe. It was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others and I will be making it again myself. Btw, tried it as dip too as you suggested and it would make a nice dish for a party or gathering. Great job with this. Thanks for the Recipe!

Huge hit at our house! I even switched it up and put the mixture in soft shells....rolled them up, poured salsa on top, the shredded cheese to make enchiladas in the oven. My husband absolutely loved it!! And they are now our favorite "enchiladas". And easy for me cause it cooks I the crockpot all day until I stuff the soft shells! It's awesome!!!

Thank you for this recipe! It is so easy and so yummy! I brought it to happy hour and served with tortillas, chips, and veggies. Like you said, it makes a great soup or dip, or taco filling! Thanks again!

I made this last week and it was AMAZING. And so easy! I served it up with some homemade rolls that I had frozen, and it was delicious! This has definitely become a staple recipe for my family. Thank you!!

I got this recipe from my sister. It's awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing. My husband and I love it and my friend requests it when she comes over. So good and easy. Love that the chicken can be frozen and I typically have all the items on hand. (o: TFS

Made this for a SECOND time in less than a week! Great recipe. I did add pinto because I didn't have black beans and used fresh cubed chicken. I was able to reduce the cook time to 2 hours on high because of the cubed fresh chicken and it was perfect. First time I used cubed chicken and it was dry. This time I also thickened w/ a little cornstarch whisked in. This is a keeper for sure. Fabulous. Oh and we served it w/ tortilla scoop chips...and had a dinner dip. The kicker is we aren't "dip people". The great part is everyone, even my picky kids liked it! Super good! A+++

I made this last night in Germany for all of my international friends. I used a smaller amount of cream cheese so it was thicker,added some green onion, peppers, and olives, and also a taco seasoning packet. It was perfect served on top of cheesey tortilla chips. Since I didn't have a crockpot, I just shredded the chicken beforehand, and combined everything in a pot to heat. It was delicious, and all my international friends want to come eat "American food" now :D

Just found this today on Pinterest and thankfully I had all the fixings on hand! Delish, my hubby doesn't normally like crockpot meals but he said I can make this again and ate 3 helpings! I mixed with white rice and served in taco shells and tortillas.Thanks for sharing and I am going to share this on my new blog makingmyhappyhome.com with a link to you and am now a follower and looking forward to more meals!

I tried this a few weeks ago minus the beans (not a bean eater) & it was AMAZING!!! My hubby loved it too, so glad I found this on pinterest! I am making it again tomorrow night, it's so easy & so delicious! This will start being a regular around my house :)

I made this last night and it was fantastic! I thought it had a little too much chili powder if I was making it for my mom to eat as well, but we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I realized this morning that I had forgotten to add the ranch seasoning package! That's what I get for having my 12 year-old son gathering recipe ingredients for me and not double-checking him! Knowing that, I bet this recipe would be over the top awesome! Can't wait to make it again with the RIGHT ingredients this time!

I made this tonight...and I have to say after all the the recipes I have found of pinterest and tried, a lot of them where people give great reviews and it ends up just being "ok"...but this, AHHHMAZING! I ended up doing 3 chicken breasts instead of 2, and soooo glad I did because I can not get enough of the chicken! My chicken was thawed, not frozen and when i took them out to shred the chicken, the chicken just fell apart! The possibilities with this is endless. We used rice this time, I think maybe next time this will be perfect for burritos. Thanks so much for sharing, I WILL be making this often!

This was wonderful... I thought it would turn out like Chili... but it came out more like burrito or taco filling. The seasoning was amazing! I loved this, with shredded cheese and sour cream and I topped it with fritos since they were on sale!

I found this on pinterest and it looks awesome. From the pic it looked like it had cheese in it and i was surprised to see it only has cream cheese. Just wondering if anybody had made this with velveeta added to it... Or should i leave well enough alone and make it as is? There is a restaurant in Austin that has Mag Mud... Which is queso with avacodo died up in it and black beans and tomato in it. I got it in my head that this is the same but with chicken in it!! But i don't want to mess up a good thing if its perfect how it is;)

I made this tonight! It was to die for!!! I added a twist on it though. I made this in the crockpot. I then took 2 green bell peppers and 2 red bell peppers chopped them in half & put them in the microwave for 30 seconds. I filled each pepper halfway with rice and then poured the chili over the rice. Topped the mixture w/ shredded Mexican cheese & baked for 25 minutes. These were the best stuffed peppers I have ever made.

This is the best recipe EVER! I have made it once a week since finding it! I usually double the recipe since I have a large crock pot and we like leftovers. I change up the proportions though, using about 5-6 chicken breasts, 3 cans of tomatoes, 2 cans of corn, 1 can of beans, and 1.5 packages of cream cheese. I also like to add some garlic powder to the recipe for added flavor. When I use thawed chicken, I can cook the full doubled recipe on high for just 3 hours.

I just made this today before heading to campus. I put it on "High" instead of "Low." I got back and checked the internal temp of the chicken and it was ready to eat after only 4 hours! It is simply amazing! So fantastic, I want to eat the whole crock pot full by myself and not share with my roommates! :)

This recipe is so awesome! I did change one thing-instead of regular Hidden Valley Ranch I used Hidden Valley Fiesta Ranch-OMGosh!! Just amazing!! If your local grocery store does not carry this variety ask the manager to order it. I have used this dip mix for years to make fiesta ranch dip (I add it to sour cream with a can of chopped green chilies and a small can of chopped black olives and people just flip for it!)

This dish is delicious!! My picky 12 year old and all her friends loved it !! They even requested it for breakfast in the am!! I did add an extra can of black beans ( 2 total) used 3 large frozen chicken breasts ....and added about 3 table spoons of taco seasoning and served over yellow rice...

I work nights in the ER & am always looking for quick fix meals that I can start before a nap & then pack it up before work. Cant wait to try it. Used 3 chicken breasts, some garlic powder because we LOVE garlic, Philadelphia chive & onion cream cheese & threw in a can of kidney beans as well. All that's left is the rice! Cant wait to eat it

Made this today!!!! I cant say enough good things about it. It was soooo good. I served it over rice but tomorrow we are going to be eating the leftovers as a burrito. Very good recipe and I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for posting.

It is very tasty but very rich. A bit too rich for me. My husband and brother in law really liked it but could not even finish one normal sized portion (and these are two guys over 6 feet with voracious appetites). I think next time I'll serve it with chips as a dip. Great flavors!

I found this on Pinterest and my family would eat it every night if they could (it's so easy they may just get their wish!) Thanks so much for the recipe. I used the new Philadelphia recipe cooking cream in Santa Fe and Hidden Valley even has a Santa Fe Ranch mix that I used last time! and when I ran out of chili powder I just used a package of chili mix I had on hand..turned out great that way too.

My friend made this for us recently when we had a child in the hospital. OH MY GOODNESS!! It was delicious. I ate it for dinner, lunch the next day, breakfast the day after that...and almost cried when it was gone. So, so very good. I'm making it again for dinner very soon.

Just made this tonight, amazing! I did not have onion powder or onions so I used 2 tablespoons minced dried onion and was still so yummy. All ideas on how to eat it sounds great: as stuffed peppers topped with cheese, burrito filling, dip, over rice, etc. I may serve it up enchilada style with added shredded cheese. Thanks for the recipe Rita! Yours truly, Michelle

Found this on another site, made it yesterday. Was so thick so I added chicken broth to thin. More like a dip even when thinned, will use leftovers as tortilla filling tonight. Think 2 cans of beans would be great next time.

Rita, Just a note to let you know - our church had a chili cook-off tonight - I took a crock of your yummy Cream Cheese Chicken Chile - we WON :-) :-) This recipe is So Tasty! I made it for the first time 2 wks ago and my girls made me take it tonight :-) YUMMY and SO EASY!!!! THANKS!!! I had fun!!Kim - Canal Winchester, OH

This is incredibly easy and yet so yummy. I couldn't stop "snacking" on the chicken as I was shredding it! The only thing I would do differently next time is add some hot pepper for a little extra kick. Thanks for a great recipe!

I make this recipe all the time. It is by far the best "pin" i have ever found. I use leftover chicken from tacos chopped up in tiny bite size pcs. Since my chicken is precooked i can take this from fridge to dinner in an hr since my crockpot is just reheating and melting the cheese! Fabulous for lunch the next day too!!

Love this recipe, thank you. I have adapted it for use in my electric pressure cooker. I cook the chicken, tomatoes, beans, and spices for 8 minutes on high, then let it "de-pressurize" on its own for a bit (10-15 minutes), then I release the rest of the pressure. I shred the chicken and add the cream cheese, give it all a good stir, and it it ready to eat!

This is sooooo good! served it for a church meeting of 21 people-- I cooked it in my big roaster oven (I put water in the base and placed the insert on top) It worked perfectly! I got rave reviews. This is one of my all time favorite recipes. Enjoying your blog-- yours inspired me to start one also. I am just learning the ropes!

Rita, I have made this recipe twice and both times I couldn't wait to eat - the wonderful aroma filled my home! I did alter the recipe somewhat by using only 4 ounces of cream cheese. Also, I didn't have the Rotel, so I chopped red, yellow and green peppers to add with a can of diced tomatoes! Delicious!

Thank you for posting this recipe! I made this and my husband and I really enjoyed it. I also made some cornbread to go along with it. Delish. Will be a keeper. I featured it on my blog and linked it back to ya ;)

I'm new to this blog and just wanted to say OMG this was AMAZING!! I made a few changes, but that was only because I didn't want to go to the store so I just used what I had. It was delish!! Thank you.

This was wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly as is, except I added some freshly grated parmigiana on the top, fresh ground pepper, and a tiny bit of kosher salt - than I mixed it all in! After that I was reading about adding tortilla shells for added crunch. Well I instead made a bowl using tortilla wraps (mixed olive oil, lemon juice 2 tbsp, cayenne pepper 1 tsp - add more if you want spice, garlic salt 1tbsp) then I baked them at 375 for 20 minutes in the oven. Not only is this chili AMAZING, but the bowls were just so much fun.

I add the packet of ranch dip mix and a packeg of taco seasoning and if i have some...velveeta. best queso ever! I don't do the frozen or raw chocken...i just use leftovers from taco night...ground beef, pork, chicken ,beef....they all work great! Super fast since the meat os alreadh cooked. I put it on high...and its ready in 45 min.

I made this today and the hubs and I loved it! My husband is really picky and he ate two and a half bowls! This is going to be in the rotation for a long time to come! I think I'll double it next time to have leftovers for lunch.

This recipe is so good, and easy to make !! Can be used to bring to a party as a dip with tortillas, or served over rice as I do at home with crushed tortillas over the top. The only modifications that I made were to add fresh cilantro right in the crock pot rather than dried (really makes a big difference in flavor), added half a jar of my favorite salsa for some extra spice, and I also put in spanish rice (I usually use Uncle Ben's Ready Rice, which I microwave before adding - usually add in the last hour of cooking), and I typically serve it over spanish rice too. Thanks for this recipe. It is a family favorite!

Hi, I just found this recipe, and it looks delish! I just had a quick question, I want to make this before I go to work, and wont be able to stir it until I get home. Will it make a big difference not to stir for 8 hours?

I made this about 6 months ago and while it was delicious, it was just too rich for a main dish. A double recipe is in the crockpot now for tonight's New Year's Eve party! I use Rotel tomatoes and green chile as I'm in the Southwest and we put green chile in EVERYTHING! I plan to serve straight from the crockpot as a dip.

Made this yesterday and there was nothing left. I followed the recipe, but used 3 chicken breasts instead of two. Since I was shorter on time, I cooked it on high for the first two hours, then turned it down to low for 2 hours. I shredded the chicken with about an hour to go and, at the end, I used some corn starch to thicken the liquid a bit. It was definitely a great recipe and we ate the leftovers over tortillas with rice.

I am making this for the second time tonight since we have several friends joining us for dinner. The first time I made it was nothing short of a success. My husband went back for not just seconds, but thirds as well! This recipe will definitely be my new go-to crowd pleaser! Thanks!

Just made this and had some of the leftovers today. I shared with my co-works and had to come and print up the recipe for them :-) For dinner, I served it over brown rice. As a leftover when it thickened up, I served it in tortillas with cheese and salsa. Thanks!

I found this on pinterest and made it yesterday. It is fantastic! I just ate with tortilla chips. It was a bit spicy for my breastfeeding diet but any other time I would love how deceptively spicy it is!

I made this Sunday and it was terrific! I thought the measurements for cumin and chili powder looked reversed, but I did mine as stated and it was delicious. (I've seen this same recipe on another site where it's 1 T chili powder and 1 tsp. cumin.) I didn't have rotel, so I put that same amount of salsa, and I also only had 4 oz. light cream cheese - so that's what I used. Still amazing! I'll be making this again!

I made this recipe yesterday afternoon and it was absolutely outstanding! We have a family of six, so I put in 4 thawed chicken breasts and two cans of black beans. Other than that I did not change the recipe and we all loved it! I only cook a meal one day a week and this is a MUST!

I have made this several times, but never left any feedback. This is so good! My husband loves hot stuff so I added a small can of chopped green chiles and used hot rotel tomatoes. I used black bean soup instead of regular black beans and I didn't drain them. I also added some fresh garlic. It's delicious.

I've probably made this six times already and have failed to comment. It's absolutely amazing! Won the chili cook off at work with it as well. I usually always end up adding a bit of chicken broth at the end to thin it a little but I get rave reviews from EVERYONE! Thanks so much for this recipe. It will stay in rotation forever!

This is an absolutely amazing recipe. I am not a big chill fan, but when I saw this, even I thought it sounded good. I have made it at least four times in the last few months and am making it again today, my husband and father love it, too!

I lost the recipes I had copied to bring to my daughter's house since she is having surgery. I had to Google to find this recipe and read how you created your blog so you could access your favorite recipes from anywhere. What a great idea. I even already have a food blog created. I will never lose another recipe, thanks to you!

This recipe is soooo delicious! I had it for the first time a few weeks ago with my girl friends. We all went to the beach for a girl's wknd. We didn't put it over rice. We were scooping it up with tortilla chips & fresh italian bread. We couldn't get enough! I'm making it tonight for my husband & daughter.

Found this recipe last year, and have used it over and over! Just sent the link to your blog for a friend that wants the recipe. It is so good and so easy! If I take this to an event, I always come home with an empty crock-pot.

I made this yesterday and it was a huge hit! Loved everything about it. Decided last minute to double the ingredients, but only had 1 can of Rotel, so I added a second can full of salsa. No complaints here. Might stuff the leftovers into bell peppers tonight. Thank you so much!

Rita this is just the BEST White Chili I've ever had. My daughter found you 1st and made this as an evening meal when I was visiting overnight. OMG.. I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven. DELICIOUS. I've since made it just for me, as it freezes well. AND taken it to a church potluck where it went fast. It's become a staple recipe in our whole family now Thanks for all your "just normal, down home recipes" I'm not the fancy type, but LOVE good food. Jackie
